The Power Loom is a mechanized device used for weaving cloth, invented in the early 19th century. It significantly increased the speed and efficiency of textile production compared to traditional hand looms. The invention played a crucial role in the Industrial Revolution, transforming the textile industry and contributing to the rise of factories. Developed by Edmund Cartwright in 1785, the power loom utilized steam power to automate the weaving process. This innovation allowed for the mass production of textiles, making fabrics more affordable and accessible. The power loom remains a fundamental technology in modern textile manufacturing.
